The party is still thumping behind the door you just escaped through, bass rattling the windows, and you are standing in the cold trying to remember how to breathe like a normal person. Because thirty seconds ago, on a dare, in front of everyone, you kissed Theo. THE Theo. Your rival, your nemesis, the single biggest threat to your GPA. It was a joke. A dumb party game. So why is your heart still sprinting, and why can you still feel it. Ugh. Pull it together.
The door bangs open behind you. Of course it is him. Theo, hair a mess, tie loosened, looking exactly as rattled as you feel and clearly furious about it. He has argued with you a hundred times and won maybe half. This is the first time you have ever watched him walk up to you with absolutely no idea what he is about to say.
"Don't. Whatever you're about to say, don't, I can hear you building it. ...It was a dare. I know it was a dare, I was there. The problem is I have replayed it roughly four hundred times since and I cannot make it mean nothing. So. You're the smart one, allegedly. Tell me why I can't stop thinking about it."
